Bend, Oregon

Ya the truck is on 37's

 

Are they as big of a pain in the ass as everyone makes them out to be? I'm about to put 35's on and am temped to go big and just jump to 37s.

 

They are some work.

My fenders have been cut for full flex on the 35s for about 2 years.

For the 37s my firewall was cut, upper and front side of inner fenders, lower headlight brackets, my high clearance bumper is cut and trimmed, body mount relocate.. but I can now fully stuff a 40in tire and it still spin on the front

 

35s on our their way

 

Also I will have a set of 285/75/16 KO2s that a basically brand new on scs rims for sale soon

 

what’s the details on that?

 

They will be off the truck mid feb. I would guess they have less than 2k on them. I have had the rims for a few years they are ether the six spoke or 8 spoke ones in black.

 

Hello, hope everyone’s enjoying the sunshine!

I’m looking for recommendations for a service center other than dealership. Need engine, transfer and diff oils changed.

Cheers.

 

I'd be interested too. I'd prefer to avoid Kendall of Bend for future maintenance

Would also be down to learn how to do stuff myself, just need a patient teacher with the tools

 

LOL, I know how to do the stuff (ex mechanic) just don't have the time or tools

However depending on if I can find someone I trust that's within budget I may just end up buying stuff and finding the time...

Can I ask about your experience with Kendall?

 

Looks to be a good deal…

2nd Gen Tacoma rear seat delete for access cab

 

Kendall has never really been BAD, but it's never really been an amazing experience either. Most of my experiences are with Kendall locations in the valley. Only been to the one in Bend twice but also know a guy who worked there and said he wouldn't trust the place for reasons unknown

 

Enough said.

Just got a quote from them for 36m/30k mile service:

36/30k Service: Labor $434, Parts $175

Fuel Injection service: Labor $200, Parts $40

Power Steering Service: Labor $132, Parts $28

Flush Brake System: Labor $113, Parts $28

Estimate total: $1,167.94

I’m here temporarily and only have a basic tool set so it’s looking like I need to buy an oil change drip pan and get my hands dirty…

 

thats what they quoted me too. I started a thread on it. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/30-000-mile-service-costs-1-100.780129/

I am likely just going to do it myself. Oil changes and diff service is easy. My rotation can be done at discount tire for free if I get lazy. My PS and brake fluid looks fine. I'll do it when it needs done. Not sure what the fuck fuel injection service is, but I don't need some hack taking my fuel system apart. also, not sure what "service" on your list above...

 

Does anyone have a jack, jack stands and oil change pan they wouldn't mind loaning?

Currently traveling with limited tools…

 

That’s for the 36/30k service, everything else is add ons “recommended”

 

but what are they including in that "service" for $600 (labor and parts) Id expect a break down of what they're doing.

"inspect and adjust floormats, rotate tires, and an oil change" for $600-pound sand

 

Engine, transfer, front/rear diffs oil change. Usual inspection & check torques and of course check fitment of floor mats.
Here’s the official breakdown they sent me…

Lol I can bet that fuel injection service is then just throwing a fuel cleaner in your tank. These trucks have Port injection for a reason lol

 

I’ve had good luck with Northgate Auto with our work trucks. I do all my personal cars but they seem to be best than everyone else
